Bed Frame Parts, Hardware, and Accessories

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Have you ever had a broken bed frame foot or lost a bed frame wheel? Finding these parts can be difficult. You can shop all over town, or you can visit an online store offering bed frame parts.

You can also find bed frame headboard brackets and hook on headboard brackets online. One neat product is called a Bed Hook Adapter Kit:

You can use a bed hook adapter kit to attach a hook-on type headboard to your bolt-on type bed frame.

How to raise your bed

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

One of the most common questions I get is, “How can i raise my bed?” Folks have lots of reasons to raise their beds. Some people want to raise their beds to create storage under their beds for sweaters, books, and gift wrap. Other people like the luxurious style of having a taller bed.

Lots of systems are available for raising your bed, but many of those systems are not very sturdy and some are even downright unsafe, expecially if used in a child’s room.
The cheap type of bed frame leg riser that looks like a plastic flower pot turned upside down is not a wise choice. I’ve heard from many customers how wobbly these are. I do not recommend these for anyone.

The best system we’ve ever seen in the industry is a deluxe model bed frame with risers. The bed frame itself is outstanding. The riser system locks in to the bed frame leg and raises the bed 10 inches. You won’t find a sturdier bed frame with risers anywhere.

If you want your bed taller than 10 inches, another stable system is the standard model bed frame with risers. The standard model bed frame with leg extenders has a little more flexibility than the deluxe model bed frame. You can choose 3 or 4 inch riser legs and you can choose wheels or bed frame feet.

Bedding that is too tall

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
I frequently hear customers complain about the height of today’s new bedding.  Mattresses today are taller than ever.  The average height of the mattresses on our sales floor is 13 inches.  Lots of people have beds that were not designed for today’s taller bedding and consequently find that the new bedding covers their headboards.  Other people say that their small dogs can no longer jump in the bed easily.  There are several bed frame options that are lower than standard height bed frames, but there are some other things that you can do to  lower your bed. 
 
When you shop for your new mattress set, make sure you ask for the “Low Profile Box Spring” instead of the standard height box spring.  Most major manufacturers offer this option at no additional charge.  Low profile box springs are usually 4 or 5 inches lower than the regular height box spring and they offer the same support and warranty as the standard height box spring.   
 
If you REALLY need to lower your bed, you can check with your local bedding store.  Many stores offer “bunkie boards” that are designed for use with bunk beds.  Usually ”bunkie boards” are only 2 – 3 inches tall and should offer enough support for your twin or full size bedding.  Use the bunkie board in place of the box spring.
